Restrictions at Nizhny Novgorod airport on May 21: flight to Moscow canceled

      May 21, 2026 07:24 Society New restrictions have been introduced at the Nizhny Novgorod airport due to the threat of a drone attack. The introduction of restrictions was announced by Rosaviatsiya at 02:45 on May 21. Since then, the airport has not been accepting or releasing flights. Judging by the online display at "Chkalovo," the airline "Aeroflot" has already canceled the flight to Moscow scheduled for 09:40. The departure to Antalya has also been delayed. Instead of 14:05, it will now depart at 17:05. The Moscow flight ("Aeroflot") has also been canceled - its arrival was expected at 08:30. In addition, three flights from Antalya operated by three carriers - AzurAir, "Aeroflot," and AirAnka - are being delayed. Passengers are advised to monitor changes in the schedule and head to the airport based on the current timetable. Those already at the airport should listen carefully to announcements over the loudspeaker. We remind you that the region was attacked by drones twice the day before.
